Shop opening soon!

If you've been to the Colorado gun shows you've undoubtedly seen them near the back of the hall. I've dealt with them a few times at shows, but never had an in-store experience with them. Matt has always answered any questions I had, and pointed me in the right direction if he didn't have what i was looking for.

I was looking for a Saiga rifle last spring right around the time they were all drying up from the market since they were no longer being imported. A few weeks ago Gina called and let me know that they were again being imported and they would have them available. Now that's service!

You may be able to find things a bit cheaper, but you won't find many honest dealers like this willing to go the extra mile to win your business!

I ran past there Friday night, They weren't there at the time, The shop is about 10 min. from Me. :D



Oh, And Welcome to the board. :D

I've talked with these guys several times and even bought some nylon stuff from them.. always a great weapons selection at their booths. I'm glad to hear they're finally getting their store front up and running.

+1 for these guys

They are great people to deal with.

I don't work for them (DRAT!) but got this yesterday during the time the board here was down.

Not sure if I'll be able to get over there and I know many of you will be at the shoot (I'm still recovering from my surgery) on Saturday. Hope someone does get there to give us a report.

COME HELP US GRAND OPEN WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE THE MOST UNIQUE GUN SHOP IN

Repost from UziWorld;

Went over ther after the shoot yesterday. Not a bad layout, even though it was, shall we say a little cozy. I'm sure on a normal day it wouldn't seem so small though.

Prices were just slightly higher than They have a gunshows but not as bad as I was figureing on. The overhead may not be that bad there.

Most of the accessories I looked at were about the same price as the the they are at the gunshows.

All in all not a bad place, I definatly will go back. For the record, I did buy a sardine can of Albainian 7.62X54R and some stripper clips for the Nagants.

Since Eagle is now open only by appointment, it looks like I've got a new store to checkout.

Stopped By again today, wasn't as busy as it was yesterday afternoon, so I had a chance to talk with Matt and Gina. They wanted to say Thank You for spreading the word about the place. I gather between Here and Arfcom, it brought alot of business they're way.


So from them,

Thank You.

:mrgreen:

Do they have AR stuff, specifically RRA?

Brian

Thats kind of the stuff that He wants feedback from You guys. Generally what You would want/need. I'm sure He could get it for You.

I've been looking to pickup a Bulgarian Makarov. It looks like this may be the place. If I knew they were open today I may have stopped by. Did anybody find the store hours on the website?

Open 11-8 everyday except monday and Days they go to gunshows.

Nothing wrong with being wrong. The problems arise when one won't admit it, like the gun grabbers who insist that lack of guns makes us safer.

It just had occured to me to call and confirm the website data before it occured to you.

I'd like to see ammo, particularly milsurp if they can get it for a decent price. I got some 7.62x54R from them at the last show @ 58th&I-25, but would like to see some bulk 7.62x39, 223 and .308 as well, and perhaps some 7.5 Swiss and .303 Brit.

I don't think anybody can reasonably touch Wally World for the normal handgun stuff (.380, 9mm, .40, .45 and 357) or 12 gauge, but if they could come close I'd buy from them instead.

Matt/Gina - if you're reading this keep a Saiga .223 around - I'll be in soon to pick one up!

This could be the start to a beautiful (and expensive) relationship [postal]
My wife hates you! :mrgreen:

Lets see, I saw 7.5X55 Swiss, Some 5.56MM, and a crate of SA 7.62MM. Gina and I talk about the .303 Brit. so there could be Hope. :mrgreen:

It is good to hear they have a store now. Does anyone know how good their selection of milsurps is? I think I will head out that way and check them out. Thanks for the heads up.

Pretty much what they have at the shows.

I just bought an AK from them. It was $20 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else and I didn't have to go through the hassle of finding an FFL to ship it to. Matt answered my questions and when I mentioned Arfcom and this site he said that a lot of people had come in asking about it. From what I could tell their low end stuff is kinda pricey compared to other places but you can get good deals on their high end stuff. Their ammo prices are decent and they've got a lot of accessories that are reasonably priced. They've also got some kind of buyer's club thing where you pay them $100 a year and they give you good prices on guns. They were going to knock $35 off of the AK I bought which would have been worth it to me considering I plan on doing more business with them in the future but it would just tempt me to buy a lot more guns....

Are they carrying any of the higher end stuff like Surefire and other pieces and parts for AK's and AR's or is it just their usual fair? I've always liked those guys so I'd be willing to make the drive and spend my money with them rather than some one online.

I didn't see any flashlights at all. It's mostly just their normal stuff along with a bunch of gun safes. I think that there's a little bit more selection but it might just seem that way because it looks like a lot more stuff when it's spread out in a room rather than on a table. I'd say give em a call.

Marlin, did those nagant strippers work?

I've heard there's good ones and bad knock off's around.


Matt and Gina are good folk, now i don't have to drive to Pine to see em.

Yes they did.

Matt and Gina can get you what ever you want, just call and ask. It will be cheaper than and MUCH friendlier than some place like Eagle! Gina's great about returning calls - they aren't open during the day Mon-Thurs, just evenings 5-8.

I've known Matt and Gina for a few years now. I even went to there house before they had a store. I think they are excellent people to deal with. Up front and honest. When they first moved into the new store
it was hard for them. People were stealing there stuff it wasn't easy.
I'm very happy they made it work out. It's just a few miles from me.
I'll be a regular costomer as long as I have a buck to spend.

Hey Marlin,
they have .303 british in.
I was in last night and got a .308 NATO battle pack and .223 pack.

Matt had a pretty good variety of ammo.

He also took time to get me familiar with the AKs and talk tech/ATF stuff w/ me.

OOOOH, almost forgot.
He just got a shipment of FALs in. NICE!!!!! they will be in the 700 range I think he said..... It's killing me.... I was standing there going "I want one of those, those and those"....

Matt and Gina are good people! I can easily support them......

How much are their .308 battle packs going for?

OOPS, didn't see your question till now.
I think it was in the $42.00 range. I can't remember for sure though. I can't find my receipt....

I just bought a pair of stainless steel Taurus revolvers (.357 and .44) and was pleasantly surprised by their friendliness, and non-arrogant gun banter. I'm tired of gunstore gurus that favour one particular caliber or style of gun, and put down everybody else's opinions. Matt and Gina are friendly, articulate, knowledgeable, and easy-going. It had the relaxed air of a small-town barber shop where everybody gathers and chats. I've found their prices to be about the same as what you'd pay for something on Gunbroker.com (namely, $150.00 cheaper than the local gunstore markups) without the hassle of shipping it. All in all, a pleasant, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend them!

Did you notice if they had more 308?
I need a k of it, my 1919a4 will be eating it soon.....

Mule, AFAIK I got the last case of it back in the beginning of November.

I knew I was out of state too long.........
ARRRGH. I'll have to pay him a visit and see if he's getting more in. I have 800+ links/belt holes to fill.

Spoke with them at the Crossroads show. They're off to the SHOT show and a small vacation. The store won't be back open until the 15th I think Gina said.. something like that anyway.

thanks.

Bought my Stag at 5280. Awesome people. They had the only left handed AR in town.

I stopped by there yeserday, let me say these people are great, I'm really a stickler for customer service, inventory, and knowledge when it comes to being happy in a gunshop, I cant recall ever being so pleased, they get my vote and my business, I will post pics of the treasure's I found there later. [Beer]

I bought an M&P there a couple weeks ago and would definitely go back in the future. However, the hours or lack there of, just plain suck. I wanted to have a rifle transferred there because they're close to where I work but they were never open when I called to give the info. Ended up going through another shop.

I was the very first 5280 customer, way back when. You are all happy they moved closer to you, but they used to live next door to me! My gunroom is full of stuff from them. They are great people to deal with, go shooting with etc. I really miss having them so close. Then Carl closed shop[Bang], I have quite a bit from him too. I guess I'm just gonna have to open my own place up here.

First time there today. Really awesome place and the service was top-notch. While I was just checking out options, I was never rushed or ignored. Great service. I'll be back for sure
